One of the joys of life is dressing up for special occasions; who doesn’t like attending weddings and formal events?
One of the challenges of formal attire is accessorizing and if you are planning to order a designer cocktail dress for an up-and-coming formal event, here are a few styling tips.
Long & Layered
A lacy fabric that is layered is perfect for a summer outdoor event like a wedding; soft pastel colors make for a fresh, summery look and minimal gold jewellery complements your tanned skin.
The designer dress boutique is the place to go when looking for a special dress or gown and you won’t find lower prices than the online boutique.
If You Have The Pins, Show Them
Check out the stunning collection of short cocktail dresses from Peaches Boutique, where you will find creations from designers like Sherri Hill and Jovani, to name but a couple.
If you have nice legs, a short white cocktail dress with sterling silver jewellery and black high heels makes for a chic look that is ideal for a cocktail party.
Statement Piece
When looking at jewellery to wear with a cocktail dress, choose a single item to be a statement piece, such as a necklace or a chic pair of diamond droop earrings, with a slim ankle bracelet, if dress code allows.
Bangles work and you could ring stack, if that’s your thing. Experiment with different accessories and you should end up with the right jewellery.
Shiny Purse
You need storage space for essentials like your cellphone and a few wipes.
A silk clutch bag would work well with a cocktail dress; a sheen finish handbag would also look cool.
Google Images can bring you hundreds of great examples of bags and it isn’t hard to find an online supplier. If the budget stretches to a Louis Vuitton, then go for it.
Make-Up
Only you know what works for you.
Simple and subtle shades complement the dress and your skin, while a deep red lipstick adds that essential splash of color.
Nail polish is another chance to add a touch of brightness, which is suitable for a cocktail party. You could chat with your best friend and ask her for a few make up suggestions.
Shoes
Your choice of footwear can transform the look, and it is always a balance between looks and comfort.
Whatever style you go for, make sure to wear them for a few hours prior to the event, then you won’t have blisters to deal with.
High heels are standard, while straps work with a short designer cocktail dress.
The great thing about dress shopping from the online boutique is you can take your time.
Browse a few designers and use the search functions.
Search by price, style, color or designer, and when you find the perfect cocktail dress, a secure online payment sees the gown packaged and sent by courier to your home address.
